Hi
They are less stable and have less quality control.
Surely you jest? I see no evidence of this, rather the contrary in fact.
No, dead serious. The libraries have a library submission process. Compare me changing my tagsoup library, to me changing my filepath library which comes bundled with GHC. I can do anything I want to the tagsoup library, but I need to wait at least 2 weeks and get general consensus before changing filepath. Also some libraries on hackage are "0.1" etc - even the author doesn't particularly think they are stable! Thanks Neil
